Guys, nothing to worry about with Wally. D_Scott reported a quote from Frank Martin at a June Manhattan Catbackers event that nothing was wrong with him so we can all LOL now.

I was in Bramlage for a couple of minutes yesterday buying a car at the big Manhattan car sale.
I snuck away for a few minutes and found a door unlocked on the concourse, going down into Bramlage. The post players were there working out, doing post moves, etc. Here are the guys I recognized.
Freddy - Absolutely a huge man. His head looked huge from the top row of stairs at Bramlage. He seemed to be a little slimmed down through his mid-section than when I saw him in bramlage during basketball season last year. He has extremely large hands and very good handles for a guy of his size. Seemed able to go both left and right with ease and finished with a finesse around the rim. The one time I did see him dunk, he threw it down with authority, standing flat footed under the basket. I'd say he's a wee bit more athletic than big Lou.
Wally - Was in a Jim Wooldridge neck brace and didn't do anything other than sit and watch the other guys. He seemed skinnier than last year also.
Jamar - Looked much bigger through the upper body than he did at the end of last year. We all know what we get with Jamar. Weird looking body angles finishing at the rim, and the ability to jump out of the gym.
Victor - He is absolutely cut, but looked like a little kid when he was attempting to guard Freddy. Not much to add here.
J.O. - looked noticeably thicker to me throughout his body. He was the only guy there that Freddy didn't seem to dwarf. Still didn't do too good with finishing strong and had trouble scoring on anyone in a one on one format. Biggest thing that stuck out to me was that it looked like he'd gained some weight, which by all accounts from the catbacker tours, is correct.
Sorry, not too much information here as I only watched for about 5 minutes. C. Kelly was not there so can't say how he was doing.
There was another guy there that looked mighty small compared to everyone else. I'm wondering if it was either Shane Southwell or Nino Williams. I'm thinking it might have been Nino. He didn't do too much of anything to notice, other than the fact that he looked tiny compared to Big Freddy.

When you say Freddy was a wee bit more athletic than big Lou, is he really not much more athletic than him, or were you being sarcastic? I was hoping he'd be a little more fleet-footed than that.

Sorry, was attempting to be sarcastic. He jumped up and easily threw it down with authority. Lou always looked like he was really straining to ever dunk it. If Freddy drops some more lbs, I can see him dunking on a lot of people in the next two years.

He was being sarcastic.
Good information and appreciate it. Haven't been on as much lately...so, (1) why is Wally in brace and (2) where was Kelly? Obviously neither is a huge deal in the summer, but just curious.

Lol good deal on the sarcasm. Sometimes it's hard to tell! I wish there was a sarcasm font sometimes!

You had me at "Jim Wooldridge Neck Brace". Actually started laughing out loud. Hope Wally's OK, but Frank said he would be fine, that's why I can laugh. Good post,to the point, hint of sarcasm, what we want to hear.

Thanks for the props. I actually borrowed the "Jim Wooldridge Neck Brace" line from a different post I read on here maybe last week. It made me laugh so I used it again.
I will say that the purpose of that brace IS NOT to cover a tattoo or protect Wally from vampire bites. He looked extremely stiff and uncomfortable. Something is up with him, but no idea what. (Just my opinion, no actual facts to back it up)
